On the crisp Monday afternoon of October 23rd, the vibrant community of Buckleys warmly welcomed the Royal Children’s Hospital Geelong Auxiliary group for their annual high tea. This cherished event has become a significant tradition for Buckleys and the dedicated volunteers who form the backbone of the Auxiliary.
The Royal Children’s Hospital Geelong Auxiliary is a remarkable assembly of volunteers committed to raising funds for the Children’s Hospital. These funds are earmarked for fulfilling the hospital’s ‘wish list items,’ ensuring that the young patients receive the best possible care and support.
Buckleys has been honoured to host this heartwarming event for the second consecutive year. With over 100 attendees, the atmosphere was buzzing with camaraderie and goodwill. The event featured delightful high tea, boasted market stalls, engaging auctions, and captivating entertainment.
Buckleys, recognising the significance of this cause, played a vital role in contributing to the success of the fundraising activities. Generously donating vouchers for the auctions, Buckleys exemplifies community spirit and active participation in philanthropy. Beyond voucher contributions, Buckleys proudly announced a substantial donation to support the remarkable efforts of the Royal Children’s Hospital Geelong Auxiliary.
In a touching moment during the event, Buckleys presented a heartwarming donation of $2000 towards the Royal Children’s Hospital Geelong Auxiliary. This generous contribution reflects not only the commitment of Buckleys to community welfare and the collective strength when individuals and businesses join hands for a noble cause.
The annual high tea at Buckleys stands as a testament to the power of community engagement and the profound impact that collective efforts can have on the lives of those in need. As Buckleys continues to be a beacon of support for the Royal Children’s Hospital Geelong Auxiliary, the event inspires others to come together and make a difference in the lives of young patients.

Laverton woman thanks ‘manifestation magic’ for Keno win
A Laverton woman shared she was left thanking the universe after she scored a $60,000 Keno Classic 8 Spot prize at Club Laverton in the weeks leading up to last Christmas.
“It was a big surprise! Especially coming up to Christmas, it’s perfect!” she cheered.
“Do you want to hear something really funny? I just wrote in my diary the day before winning, ‘Thank you, universe, for my Keno 8 Spot win’. Then it really came true!
“I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and manifestation, and I love affirmations!
“It was awesome seeing all eight numbers pop up on the screen.
“I’ve had a few wins in Keno over the years. It’s like the stars align for me when I play - it’s my thing!”
Club Laverton manager Gus Alimovski said the team happily shared in the excitement with their major Keno winner.
“What an incredible win for our patron! It’s always great hearing these winning stories, and now we have another one to share with our patrons,” he said.
“We’re thrilled for our customer, and we hope to see more Keno winners in our venue soon.”
All eyes on a winning FY26
Keno’s National Partner Manager Luke Harrison said he couldn’t wait to see which Victorian clubs welcomed the next big Keno winners.
“Last financial year, players at Victorian clubs celebrated some impressive victories,” he said.
“A key highlight has been the growing popularity of Keno’s Bonus and Replay features among club patrons. This trend reflects how venues are successfully connecting with their customers, sharing updates on jackpot increases, promotional offers, and game enhancements.
“When players opt into Keno Bonus, they unlock the chance to multiply their winnings by up to ten times, while the Replay option adds another layer of excitement.
“Many players are still unaware of these features, making it vital for staff to start conversations and educate them on the full range of Keno possibilities!”
Mr Harrison said the solid Keno performance at Victorian clubs last financial year laid a strong foundation for continued success in FY26.
“Clubs across Victoria are embracing fresh approaches to elevate the customer experience, and Keno’s rising popularity is playing a key role in that journey,” he said.
“There’s also a wide array of Keno resources available to clubs, from eye-catching point-of-sale materials to engaging promotions, all designed to keep the game front and centre.
“As the new financial year unfolds, Keno is looking forward to celebrating more big wins for Victorian club patrons, and more success stories for the clubs that host them.”
